Michelle

Michelle_Gilbert_CCAEKS — 2024-01-12 06:12:19 UTC

While I have definitely gotten better at this over the years, I still know I would benefit from learning to say, "no" when something doesn't fit into my life or schedule.

Michelle

Michelle_Gilbert_CCAEKS — 2024-01-12 06:17:16 UTC

A good friend of mine always says, "No is a word you can say with nothing following it." When I set limits for myself and say, "no" to people/activities, I feel like I need to justify it. I think a good strategy for me would be to mentally remind myself of my friends words before I commit to something. I have also blocked out evenings on my calendar for me time.

I would like to work on setting limits for myself. I sometimes have a hard time sleeping. I bought this journal a few years ago, but have yet to use it. I am going to put this next to my bed tonight!

Shannon

2024-01-12 15:00:19 UTC

I want to communicate effectively with those around me. Difficult conversations can be daunting to me, so I am going to put pen to paper and allow my thoughts to flow more freely before having those conversations in person, so I feel more confident in what I am saying. I am also going to practice saying "let me think about it" instead of automatic yeses just to people please.

Shannon

2024-01-12 15:01:59 UTC

My goals are to effectively communicate and learn to say "let me think about it" instead of an automatic yes.

I have supported friends, strong beliefs, empathetic, and a problem solver.

Iris B.

2024-01-15 01:32:41 UTC

I have good friends - and I can trust them.

I love to laugh - especially at myself.

Iris B.

2024-01-15 01:35:36 UTC

I find time to help others and often forget my needs. My goal is to enjoy a hobby that hopefully will also make me more creative. (put two goals together)

Iris B.

2024-01-15 01:38:52 UTC

The strategy for my goals to be more creative and have a hobby: (1) I will start by making a picture poster - and see if it leads me toward some other creative effort. (2) I will also "schedule" time for me - just like I schedule time to work with others.

2024-01-15 22:59:53 UTC

I have built a strong social and professional network. I have interests and activities that engage me outside of work.

2024-01-15 23:00:42 UTC

Believe that I am lovable and worthy of support from my friends.

2024-01-15 23:02:09 UTC

My goal is to set limits for myself. I don't always do that and then get mad at others because I didn't say "no that is too much for me"

DH

Give myself grace and patience to know my limits and feel comfortable with saying "not right now or I can't fit that in, or honestly just say no"

I just need to take my calendar and mark off days and times that are for me. My word for 2024 is me so I am really trying to do more things for myself. My problems is I get such joy from doing things for others.

Marcia

2024-01-18 14:36:47 UTC

I need to recognize when I am stretched too thin and be able to prioritize in order to complete tasks. I need to be able to admit that I need help in stead of trying to push through when I am not confident in what I am doing.

Stacey

2024-01-18 15:13:53 UTC

Hi all. When completing the DARS I reflected on some of my strengths, which include:

Relationships- being supportive and empathetic and lucky enough to have trusting supporting friendships!

Internal beliefs- my role as caretaker is so important to me (mom of 4 children, daughter to a mother who has battled health problems, and in a helping profession)!

Intitiative- I try to communicate and problem solve.

Self-Control- I am flexible and able to express emotions.

As for areas that I would like to work on:

engaging more in hobbies I enjoy, taking more time to seek knowledge, setting some limits or at least trying to ask for help more, as I rarely say no to things. Lol.

Jackie

2024-01-18 15:35:08 UTC

Some of my strengths are:

good friends, empathetic, strong beliefs, laugh often, and flexible.

Jackie

2024-01-18 15:43:00 UTC

I would like to learn how to ask for help. I often offer to help to others, but when I am feeling overwhelmed, I do not ask for help.

Jackie

2024-01-18 15:47:27 UTC

I would like to really work on discovering why I do not ask for help in hopes of improving this area.

Leah

2024-01-18 15:49:08 UTC

I have close friends whom I trust and are supportive of me and who I am as an individual. My internal beliefs help guide me daily in my role as a leader. I'm an excellent problem solver and flexible with my time and talents.

Leah

2024-01-18 15:57:39 UTC

I am sooooo used to functioning alone that I find it easier to just do things myself. I am very uncomfortable asking for help and its not because I think I know everything but moreso to shield myself from let down, disappointment, wasted efforts, etc. My safe space is within and that includes shutting down to any and every one when I just don't feel like I'm in a safe space mentally.

Leah

2024-01-18 16:00:43 UTC

Asking for help requires trusting people outside of my circle. People have to prove they can be trusted. I believe that I can help myself by asking for assistance with small things that won't derail my entire mindset if for some reason its forgotten about, isn't done to my liking etc.

Cathy

2024-01-18 16:42:49 UTC

I have a mentor. I laugh often and have great friends. I am empathetic.

Cathy

2024-01-18 16:48:41 UTC

I would like to work on trusting what others say and setting limits.

Cathy

2024-01-18 16:53:21 UTC

I am using mantras to help me reframe my thoughts. I am working on saying no and setting limits and being okay with somebody else's strong emotions.

I communicate with other well. I laugh often and I express my emotions in a positive manner. I am flexible.

2024-01-18 17:08:22 UTC

I will seek out knowledge and I would like to start a new hobby.

2024-01-18 17:09:15 UTC

I will continue listening to Podcast to gain more knowledge. I will also check out articles online and in local newspapers.

2024-01-18 17:10:39 UTC

LL

2024-01-18 18:09:08 UTC

The strategy that I would like to put in place is going to be Do, Delegate, and Stop 🛑.

Melissa

2024-01-18 18:24:52 UTC

Relationship building is a strength of mine both personally and professionally. I know I am a good person, I am smart and capable. I am a problem solver with great ideas.

Melissa

2024-01-18 18:25:45 UTC

I need to find a hobby and take time for myself in order to do it.

I need to say no more often.

Diana

2024-01-25 15:38:45 UTC

Empathic listening, providing support and care to family, friends and coworkers

Diana

2024-01-25 15:40:18 UTC

I need to find a hobby. I have some interests but they are physically taxing and I'm not as strong as I used to be. If I can find someone who shares my interests, maybe we can work together to build something amazing.

Diana
